For female amateur golfers, the US Women’s Amateur is one of the most prestigious and coveted championships that one can qualify for — its trophy decorated with the names of some of the greatest female golfers in the history of the game.

The first tee is no place to feel unprepared. That opening tee shot can be nerve-wracking enough, even under the best of conditions. As golf courses begin to open their doors again (and not a moment too soon!) you may face a new challenge as you start…

A hallmark of many great golfers is how easy they make it look. When they take the club back from the ball, they seem unhurried, almost casual. They glide through transition and it appears as if the club is simply responding to gravity as it returns…

The Bump & Run Shot

“The most common pitfalls I see when people try to chip are positioning the ball too far back in the stance and leaning the handle too far forward. This essentially turns the leading edge of your club into a little shovel that…

We would all agree that the best players in the world share the common trait of being very consistent. On most shots, the golf ball does just what they ask of it and even when they do miss, they don't miss by much.

That kind of consistency is something…

In order to get better at golf, you have to make the most of your practice time. Pounding range balls aimlessly is not going to help you improve. It’s important to practice with a purpose - either developing a new skill, correcting a fault or ingraining…

If you've been looking for more consistency in your golf game, you've probably been told that you have to start with sound fundamentals. They're the building blocks, the foundation upon which the whole golf swing is built. It can be confusing, though…

In golf, playing away from danger is often the best course of action. But we've all been there, despite our best-laid plans – short-sided, tough lie, trouble short, trouble long, no margin for error. Some of us will take our medicine, get back into play…

Skills Over Style

I started to coach the way I learned to play the game, which was very methodical and very mechanical. I wasn't very good as a coach very early on because I prioritized form over function. And I began to understand that my teaching…

One of our favorite Team Titleist events last year was the exclusive short game experience we hosted with Layne Savoie and Dr. Rob Neal, the founders of WedgeCraft. The TT members who joined us at the Manchester Lane Test Facility were given a master…

One of the more frustrating things about golf is how fleeting success can be. We've all been on the roller coaster. You play a great round on Saturday, certain that you've unlocked all of golf's deepest secrets. You tee it up again on Sunday and can…

What are your goals for the new golf season? If you're anything like the Team Titleist members who responded to our latest 2020 Golf Goals forum thread, playing more consistently is right at the top of your list.

If you think about it from a scoring…

If you think about the best wedge players on Tour, or even some of the best short game players that you've played with personally, what are some qualities that set them apart? You might say that they have great hands or softer touch than other players…

Late tomorrow evening, our planet will reach the most distant point in its yearly orbit around the sun and the Northern Hemisphere will mark the Winter Solstice. I can hear the groans out there, but the arrival of winter doesn't have to mean hibernation…

A little advice can be a dangerous thing. We've all been there. You hit a poor shot and before the ball has even touched down, a well-meaning member of your foursome chimes in with some armchair commentary on how you didn't "keep your left arm straight…

Back in September, Titleist Staff Professional Trillium Rose provided some great swing keys to help you play well during the fall. When she spoke with us, Trillium emphasized that fall golf should be all about playing, enjoying the final rounds of the…

If your long game begins and ends with the driver, you're leaving some great opportunities to score on the table. Knowing how to use a few other clubs in your long game toolbox – fairway metals and hybrids – will help you to find more fairways on narrow…

You may think that working the ball, curving and shaping shots on command is something that only highly skilled players need to worry about. Simply hitting the ball straight is ambitious enough, right? But as Titleist Staff member Tom Patri notes in…

When Layne Savoie and Dr. Rob Neal presented their Short Game Experience at Titleist’s Manchester Lane test facility, they revealed that the ability to generate high spin is a crucial ingredient in hitting tour-caliber wedge shots. But many golfers don…

During the exclusive short game experience that they presented for Team Titleist members, WedgeCraft co-founders Layne Savoie and Dr. Rob Neal clarified some aspects of the short game that are confusing for many players. For example, did you know that…

As Dr. Rob Neal explained during the exclusive short game experience that he and fellow WedgeCraft co-founder, Layne Savoie, presented for Team Titleist members, the best wedge players all have forward shaft-lean at impact. That goes for finesse shots…

During the exclusive short game experience that they presented for Team Titleist members, WedgeCraft co-founders Layne Savoie and Dr. Rob Neal stressed that the name of the game in wedge play is spin. Spin correlates directly with control and the ability…

It's hard to believe, but this upcoming weekend will mark the last gasp of summer for us here in the Northern hemisphere. Fall officially begins on Monday, September 23rd and if you're like me, that news brings a twinge of panic, as you try to calculate…

It's U.S. Open week and to help celebrate the 119th edition of our National Championship, we're happy to present some exclusive golf instruction, all related to the unique challenges players will face at Pebble Beach Golf Links, which is hosting the…
